In response to my tool tips posts a few days ago, Chris Steiner sent in these pics and info on the organizing bins and tool holders he built from copper pipe and some mounting hardware.
I can’t stop thinking about ways to use the vast amount of copper pipe scrap that I have lying around. I could take it to the scrap yard — it’s worth $1.50/lb in Minneapolis these days. But why do that when it’s more valuable to me as an organizational medium?
Based on your own creative designs, build a jig to hold the sections of copper to your specifications. Sand all contact areas well and flux generously. Solder a section or two at a time and be extremely careful. This can be a dangerous project Get a plumber to help if you’re not comfortable soldering things not connected to a PCB.
